I am off Friday and am thinking about going to Del Norte for a couple hours in the early afternoon to do some shooting. Anyone else interested in going? I have a pass to get in and can take guests. We could either meet at my house (Rio Rancho, Cabezon area) or at the Walmart at Souther/Unser.

10-11am? Did you want to meet there, or car pool?

But my press has been cold for two weeks now, no bang for a little while.

Sounds good LnL. We can meet there unless anyone else wants to go, then we can caravan out there.

Can we get that on hard copy with a signature?

I'm in with a pea shooter. Any objections to my being added? I've never had the opportunity to shoot at Del Norte before.

I wear safety gogglers.

They match the helmet I wear when I'm riding the short bus to the range.

I'll try to find my fall down hat too.

LNL, do you want to meet in the Wally World parking lot near Walgreens or some where else?

Awh thanks man. I don't want to be a mooch, and I'm not sure how I can pay you back.

I'm in a monetary lul from unforseen funeral expences last weekend.

Maybe I can make up a slick avatar for ya? In the meantime at least.

ETA: are there any regs at Del Norte that would differ from Zia's?

Drain: Not a problem on the ammo, seriously. As far as the regs...I don't think there would be any differences, although I have not been to Zia. At Del Norte, you have a key card to get you in and it is pretty self managed after that. I've never seen anyone there playing range master and all other members I have bumped into seem very friendly. Pretty much just be curtious to those around you and manage your own cease fires at the line when it is time to change targets or head down range. Last time I went, Hilljack and I were shooting some steal at 200 and 300yrd which was pretty fun! We even got a little cocky and started hitting the 300yrd plate with open sights...although I probably won't be able to duplicate that tomorrow

Yip said he might be running a little late. I'll be there in a black Dodge truck.

I missed the early shoot - didn't get out until 1500 or so. Any of you guys shoot on the 1000yd range? Looks like they did some nice improvements on the yard lines - will be bringing out the .408 shortly once I get some ammo loaded up for it.

Sorry we missed you. No 1000yrd range for us today. Pretty much hung out at the 100,200,300yrd range and then spent a few minutes at the lower pistol area. Had a good time. Hopefully we can connect next time.

I had a great time out there! It was good to meet LNL, and Yippy for the first time, and to see Hilljack again.

And thanks to you guys for your generosity, I'm definitely gonna make it up to you.
